WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:12.039 Welcome to the NXT podcast, your home for weekly NXT reviews and insight. 2 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:18.320 Beautiful part of NXT is that when one dream ends, another dream begins. 3 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:24.199 Find all of your NXT news recaps and analysis right here. So with that 4 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:34.280 being said, we only have one question for you, are we thought? 5 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:43.079 So let's get the show started right now. All right, everyone, this 6 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.600 is Memphis Mark coming to you from Matter and we are going to do the 7 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:58.240 review for NXT the sixteenth of April. And it is a surprisingly surprisingly good 8 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:04.799 good show. Really only have one dud out of the group, so I 9 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.359 mean, can you beat that? And they even started off right the now 10 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:18.200 forever little deal they do at the start of every WWE has now been changed 11 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:23.000 up officially, a new era, a new promo, a new voice, 12 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.040 you know, so you know it's different. So of course I'm more of 13 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.719 a nostalgia guy, but I like change and I like you know something, 14 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.920 So we'll see how this, you know, plays out over a period of 15 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.920 time. May come to love it. But a good start, a good 16 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.000 start to everything. They even got the fans are showing, the fans coming 17 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.879 into the performance center in Florida. They're getting ready for it, so kind 18 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.079 of a different way to start it off. You know a lot of energy. 19 00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.439 Can't complain. Of course, you're going to go in to the starting 20 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:07.439 match, which you know last week they built a story because Metaphor kind of 21 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.840 did a little comic uh mimic thing of some of the right guys, and 22 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.719 uh, well some people didn't like it, and die Jack didn't I like 23 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.719 it, so he came out and got in, Uh, got in Metaphor's 24 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.759 face last week, which is leading to this match. Uh. In the 25 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.319 match itself, die Jack's so much bigger, U should be like a squash 26 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:37.520 match almosts But the way they're they're they're doing a build, they're doing a 27 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:42.120 slow build. I don't know him because he looked good in this match. 28 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.560 He did everything the way it's supposed to be done. If you're the smaller 29 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.879 guy, you got to chop the guy down. He had great moves. 30 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.039 His timing is good. Of course, die Jack being the size that he 31 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.039 is, the moves that he can do, the high flying moves, and 32 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.520 he does not a big Viking move where he does the cartwheel and just flips 33 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:06.479 over. No, he does some innovative moves. So I just don't something 34 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.599 about die Jack just hadn't clicked with me. I guess I just that's just 35 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.199 me. I don't know how to put it. But yeah, the match 36 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:23.560 itself though really good. Noam looked fantastic, so I mean I can say 37 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:30.120 is overall a fantastic match. I like to build on it. And the 38 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:40.919 surprise end they let with some interference and a little metaphor metaphoric interference, Noam 39 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:46.520 pulls it off and die Jack had just been bragging earlier that he did not 40 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:52.479 get pinned by Oba, but he got pinned today. And and the way 41 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.919 they did it, you know, it doesn't make die Jack really look bad. 42 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.560 It just makes the situation that no End took advantage of it, and 43 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.039 uh, you got to win, you know, it is what it is. 44 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.400 So when you don't make somebody look bad, you get to do a 45 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.639 storylineine that. I mean, I think it's a win win. It's a 46 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.920 win win. But they go from there to the wise All Wise Eva and 47 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.399 she's talking with a drugging off and uh so little here in her there, 48 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:31.879 but there's going to be an open challenge match later. You know, Dragon 49 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:39.160 Off does good, he does finding this little promo, but you think she'd 50 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.560 be getting better by now. But anyway, well uh uh, and then 51 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:49.319 you know they go straight from that to a Soul Ruka Lota vice match. 52 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:56.800 Another good match, another good match. Soul Ruka is good. She's getting 53 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.560 her ring legs back under her, you know, from being injured for a 54 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:06.279 while, does great, has some goodhiphline moves. But Lola really really looked 55 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:13.199 good. Showed her MMA training and not just foo food training, I mean 56 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.240 like some real like she did some good moves, the placement of her feet 57 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.800 and a lot of her kicks. I mean, say what you want to 58 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.279 man, that was a good match. Soul does good. She always does 59 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.480 good, you know, And so this is another match where neither one's really 60 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:39.000 gonna look bad coming out of it, because right towards the end, when 61 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:44.199 Soul looks like she's about to take control, you've got Blair daving Port still 62 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.160 sticking her nose in. And yeah, the way she did it, I 63 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:53.879 liked a little run in good fall, and then the kick that Lola put 64 00:05:53.959 --> 00:06:01.639 on Soul was freaking right on placement, just you know, really really good. 65 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.279 So good finish, Lola ends up getting to win. Nobody looks bad, 66 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.800 sets up Sol and we even get a Buddy Landelle reference in here. 67 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.519 You know that somebody's always trying to take your spot. They were trying to 68 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.279 groom the natured boy Buddy Lyndale to take over for the nature boy Rick Flair 69 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.920 at one time back in the day. Couldn't he could not. Bloody Lyndale 70 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:30.560 was good. Could never cover those shoes and of course didn't cover those shoes. 71 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:38.360 But the match itself though, really good. So I cannot complain out 72 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:45.120 of the show at all everything they've done. So they do this little they 73 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.160 go from there and they do this little anonymous you know, where they're trying 74 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.560 to act like they've got a hidden camera or somebody's previewed as something that they're 75 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.600 not supposed to. And in this one it's Ridge Holland and mister Wilde l 76 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.560 w O. And that's gonna set up, you know, a match a 77 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.879 little bit later because Rich you know, puts a little choke choke on him, 78 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:10.199 you know, pretty much out of my business mate. Uh. And 79 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.480 so yeah, it's got to lead and then of course the great skills of 80 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.759 Ava in that too. Yeah. But Booker t was on fire tonight, 81 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:28.040 just good references, good good everything. Uh. And the only real kind 82 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.639 of Dug. We're not really died, but in this particular case, but 83 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:39.600 they have Arianna Gase, Rihanna Grace doing her little pageant deal with right. 84 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:45.639 And I expected this to really suck. I just did. I thought it 85 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.839 would. This is really gonna be bad. But this is a case of 86 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.319 the ladies taking something that was written and making the best out of it. 87 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.360 Now, it wasn't particularly for me. I did think it was the way 88 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.720 they did it was okay. But the teenagers and the kids that were around 89 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:09.199 me, they thought it was cool. So, uh that's your audience. 90 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:16.120 I'm buying on purchasing most of your w W merchandise, so uh maybe it's 91 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.079 a win. And I just didn't know it. But uh, just the 92 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.560 quality these things are like little movies. Uh. And uh they did real 93 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.839 good when this one, you know, uh they didn't over you know, 94 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.519 overplay anything or it wasn't that at all. GG came out looking okay, 95 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.679 you know, did a little some something to the dress and made it you 96 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.360 know, that was picked for And I just I can't describe this. I'll 97 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.720 just go back and check it out. It's it's it's not bad. I 98 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.799 mean, as like I said, you keep expecting for the worst, but 99 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.960 it actually isn't. Uh. And and then they're gonna go from there to 100 00:08:52.080 --> 00:09:00.759 the Ridge Holland and uh Walking Wild Wool match. And in this one there 101 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.639 again the winner is gonna look okay, yeah, but the loser doesn't look 102 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:11.279 bad either because Ridge is a lot bigger. Uh. You know, Uh, 103 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.159 it should be an easy match. But mister wild Man, anybody that 104 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.519 can fly through this crowd, uh, fly through the sky with the greatest 105 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.720 of ease, this gentleman does. Uh. He puts on a great match, 106 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.159 really good match, and makes Ridge look good. He carries this match 107 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.200 and makes Ridge look good. But I mean not that, not the greatest 108 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.840 match, but uh, just a couple of Wild's moves, they were just 109 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.159 that that matrix move. He misses a clothesline. It's just the timing these 110 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.639 guys now have got is just unbelievable, and the athletic ability they have. 111 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.039 And even at the end, Ridge catches and does a power the guy's like 112 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.360 Wild's jumping through the ropes to get him on the outside, and Ridge catches 113 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:03.600 him and power slams him. But then on the outside is Sean Spears checking 114 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.879 the match out. So you know, Ridge ends up getting the wind and 115 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.360 then walking by and kind of bumping shoulders with Sean. So that's setting up 116 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:22.440 something of course on down the road. Folk Show. Uh got a quick 117 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.159 little promo with Josh Briggs getting cleared. You know. I hope they do 118 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.120 something with him too, because he seems like he could be h I mean, 119 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.279 he's with his size and his athletic ability, you know. And this 120 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.159 one, they're setting up the big Viking, you know, because they're trying 121 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.919 to figure out who's gonna go after Oba, so they're gonna have a match 122 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.200 to determine who's gonna go against Oba. And the Viking actually looks normal and 123 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:52.919 kind of they let him speak in non weird mannerisms. He talking, he's 124 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.360 talking kind of normal and uh, okay, Little Spot Briggs looks a little 125 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.399 stiff in this one. Uh, you know, but uh it is what 126 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.720 it is. But good little Spot can't complain Folk Show. Uh. And 127 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:11.759 uh they go from that to Nophie and Blade. In this Brindley Reese. 128 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:18.240 Uh, they're trying to do some little TikTok promo or whatever, but they're 129 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:24.080 in the gym and and they're She's thinking that, HEYOPI is ape or whatever 130 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.679 she I don't know, kind of a stupid interview, but I hope they 131 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.120 don't. They don't type cast a Nophie in Blade in a bad way, 132 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.840 because man, these guys could get over they could pull it off. They're 133 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.440 they're young, good looking guys with ability just out of the world. So 134 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:48.480 hopefully somebody, somebody helps them, Somebody comes on and gives these guys some 135 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.679 good writing. Uh, I mean, that's that's I just don't want them 136 00:11:52.679 --> 00:12:01.320 to get buried. And with more promos here yout Andre Chase and seeah hail. 137 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:09.360 He's explaining the gambling angle on their storyline. And there again it's somebody 138 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.279 that's doing the best that they can with what was written for him. And 139 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.720 I could see somebody writing this out of an experience or a friend's experience and 140 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.240 thinking that's gonna they can sway it into this storyline and they do the best 141 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.720 they can. That's when it is what it is. But uh, you 142 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.360 know you're gonna have after that, at least you're gonna have a little action, 143 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.840 not in the ring, per se in a match, but you've got 144 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.519 Ony D Tony D in the family coming out, you know, the consillari, 145 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:45.000 the underboss. You've got this future ladies, you know, representative of 146 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.440 the di Angelo family. So he's you know, he gets up in there 147 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.759 and he's given his little state of the Union speech, whatever you might want 148 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.759 to say. And then you've got the No Quarter catch crew that comes out 149 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:05.519 there, and Dempsey is a mouthpiece for them in this one, and it's 150 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.679 gold end up in a fight like it always does. But Tony had to 151 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:15.960 carry this little promo spot because it could have gone really bad. Just there 152 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.639 was some awkward silence. And back in my restaurant nightclub days, when you 153 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.240 heard silence, that means the DJ was either in the bathroom or that you 154 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.919 had some kind of problem. So it was a big deal. So radio 155 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.960 silence bad, TV silence bad during an interview, so Tony d pulled it 156 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.320 out. They you know, they did okay, and then like I said, 157 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:43.000 they throw hands at the end. But this is all leading up to 158 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:50.039 I think the best match of the night, and I gotta say, possibly 159 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.679 the best debut I have seen. I'd have to go back and really think 160 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.480 on this one. I can't remember the first time I saw someone wrestle for 161 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.879 the first time, and I know he's been on but I mean really getting 162 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.480 a chance, and he impressed me the way this Evans kid, this nineteen 163 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:15.840 year old phenom man his entrance, he jumps over Booker T and Vic and 164 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.919 jumps over tracking Off and turns, spends his direction around in midair and lands 165 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.200 in front of him like a superhero. And then they put on a match. 166 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.840 I mean, he beat the daylights out of that kid, and that 167 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.320 kid kept coming back and it looked good. Even if he might have had 168 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.559 a little slip up, he made such impact on his rest of his moves 169 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.399 because they set this up. They have all these wrestlers running in trying to 170 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.360 get in, and then he comes from the other side and does his entrance 171 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.360 and jumps in. So you got to have a good match with an entrance 172 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:56.519 like that man, and he did not disappoint. This is definitely worth going 173 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:01.679 back and checking out. Dragonoff did not have to carry this match. This 174 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.759 was a match that I mean, I would have been impressed if I was 175 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.399 a veteran in here that this kid's got this kind of poise. A little 176 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:15.919 weight on this kid a time in the gym man, I mean, nineteen 177 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.679 years old. If he just keeps his nose to the Grindstone. It doesn't 178 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.240 listen to the people around him. Once he gets a little, it gets 179 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.360 more TV time that and he just keeps working. Man, he could be 180 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:35.159 Dare I say the word generational talent or phrase I should say. I mean 181 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:41.960 it was I was stunned, So I mean highly highly recommend going back and 182 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:48.399 checking checking the match old. And it was about midway of the show, 183 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:54.559 you know. So it's like I said, I was just stunned at how 184 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.279 good this kid was with his time and and everything. It was just it 185 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.360 blew me away. All right, let me see they do some more promos, 186 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.399 of course, and get a little of that going on. Let's see, 187 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.039 I'm still kind of I said, that match kind of really did surprise 188 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.000 me. Uh. And then you, of course you've got soul Ruka and 189 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:22.360 our lovely gm Eva that is here passing off more knowledge. She sol wants 190 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.840 her match with Davenport, so of course they set that up. Uh. 191 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:33.279 And then you're gonna have a Thea Tatum Paxley match that you know. THEA 192 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.240 does good in the ring. She's like a little buzz Sawyer or something. 193 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.200 I mean, and now bus Sawyer the wrestler, but uh, she does 194 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.399 good in this match. But Tatum Paxley is really come into this role that 195 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:52.600 she's playing. Her character is has to be somewhat of a part of her 196 00:16:52.679 --> 00:17:00.000 because she just does it just a little too good, the creepy psycho girl. 197 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.720 And then you know, you got theig over there doing all her four 198 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.000 Horsemen moves, you know, all her technical type, you know, good 199 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:12.640 moves, good solid moves and everything. But yeah, the match itself not 200 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:18.880 so bad, not so bad. Uh actually surprisingly good for them. I 201 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.119 expected it to be really kind of you know, not be worth watching. 202 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.119 But Tatum is really, like I said, she's really taken on that roll. 203 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:32.079 So her mannerisms in her moves in the ring, you know, fit 204 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:37.279 her personality. So weird moves, strange thing in the corner she did. 205 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.000 Yeah, you just you have to check it out. But hey, she's 206 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:48.279 she's pulling her character off and gets the win. And what was surprising at 207 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.279 the end of this match, They've got to break the ladies up. And 208 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:59.480 then in the middle of this you've got Lyra coming in to jump on Tatum. 209 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.240 You know, Andrea's going after It's just in pandemonium. At the end 210 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.519 of the match. Uh, not so bad. Good little end on it. 211 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.640 Then they go and they they play rock Sand being her villain self, 212 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.240 and she's kind of growing into that role a little bit. She's really taking 213 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.960 on that smart Alec kind of she's statement on pretty good. So she makes 214 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.960 a couple of references to Ava. Uh and uh, you know, so 215 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.960 Ava's gonna have her screen time. So she comes in and only the way 216 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.480 Ava can uh says that I've got an easy job. That's what you just 217 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.839 said. So we're gonna have a three way match at spring Breaking. I 218 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:47.279 hate the name spring Breaking. Yeah, spring breaking anyway, Uh, but 219 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.680 yeah, and Ava looks so much bigger than Rocksand I mean, like like 220 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:59.359 Andre the giant bigger. I mean, all right, uh, but then 221 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:04.039 they're gonna have you know, you've got the Final Testament coming out to have 222 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:10.160 a match, and you got precious Paul Ellering that never gets to speak seventy 223 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:15.119 years old. Actually the otis active a character or person on the roster, 224 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:22.200 I believe. But yeah, you've got aop going against blade In and o 225 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.839 Fie And like I said, man, I just don't want him to bury 226 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.920 Anolfie in Blade because I really think that they could do something. But they 227 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:37.039 really must believe in this AOP because they've been pushing them and trying them for 228 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.000 a while now, bringing ellering in and flying him in, just havingim walk 229 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:47.960 out in a pair of leather pants with that look. If he can still 230 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.440 talk, they need to let him on the mic or whatever. Maybe they're 231 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:56.160 grooming across to become a manager later on. I I don't know, but 232 00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.359 they're they really got to believe in AOP as much time as they've spent on 233 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.400 these guys, and they're good, they're big, and they're three hundred pounders, 234 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.920 and yeah, it's just sometimes if you know, if somebody doesn't get 235 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:14.759 over with this much TV time, I don't know how much rebranding or repackaging 236 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.799 you can do to make them get over. But I don't know. They're 237 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.759 trying Blade in enough, you know, Blade and Enough He definitely did try 238 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.720 their best on this. They looked good their course, high flyers. They 239 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.519 did everything they're supposed to do well. Man, they get caught one time 240 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.359 flipping outside of the ring, and I mean, these guys are definitely big, 241 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:38.319 but they actually catch Enoughie and they hit hit him, hit blade with 242 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:44.880 them. I mean it's you know, it's when you use your opponents to 243 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:49.039 batter the other opponents, but they made it look okay. You know, 244 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.720 it's okay. You got alling at the end up there, but you got 245 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.559 Nathan Fraser and Axiom the champs running out with the belts and doing some goofy 246 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:03.920 little like look me, I got a built uh whatever, but uh yeah, 247 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.720 yeah so uh and and and it was after that they do some more 248 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.440 of the the grace and gg spot. Uh. Still yeah, it's okay. 249 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.559 Uh. Then they're gonna have Josh Briggs and the big Viking going at 250 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.400 it. And uh, Josh Briggs has supposedly got two broke ribs but was 251 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:29.000 cleared anyway, and he does portray that in his match. He gets every 252 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.279 chance he gets, he grabs his ribs. He does that the match itself 253 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.480 pretty good. But of course, if a three hundred and something pound man 254 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:42.079 uh squashes you off the second or third rope, you're gonna if you've really 255 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:48.680 got bad ribs, you're gonna lose. And that's actually what that so you 256 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.160 know, there again, it doesn't make Briggs really look that bad, uh, 257 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.279 you know, because of the way he lost and everything. But they 258 00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.759 got a little Obuffinny watching in the background. With a big old grin, 259 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.799 you know so, and of course he's got to throw somebody down walking out 260 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:08.839 to look impressive, and poor poor Mensa, you know you figure with a 261 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.920 name like Mensa, he'd be smart enough to stay out of those situations. 262 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:17.680 But didn't always work that way. Doesn't always work that way. But then 263 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:25.680 they go on an extravagant promo of all about Trick Williams and Mellow that's stand 264 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.519 and deliver, and they're going through all that it's okay, And then of 265 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:36.559 course they show the refs setting up the steel cage match that they're gonna do, 266 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:41.119 and it's all pins that they're just setting these panels together with. And 267 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.000 then they have the match. Now, this just show has been good. 268 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.519 I've liked everything. I mean, I would recommend it, but this has 269 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.839 to be the worst stel cage match I've ever seen in my life. These 270 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.119 two guys were terrible. They are not the type of people to do a 271 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:02.599 steel cage match. They just were not. They just their moves do not 272 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.000 go with that. It just didn't look good. Trick look out of place. 273 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:15.079 Mellow was trying. It just wasn't good. I gotta be honest, 274 00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:21.119 when when it calls for it, and you know they towards the end of 275 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:25.799 the match, it gets okay. I guess I just it was hard to 276 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.200 watch. It was hard to watch. I mean, it's just the way 277 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:33.200 it was. You know, Trick ends up getting the wind this so other 278 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.480 building on that, you know, heading towards with him and tracking off because 279 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.079 dragging off's up in the muffett box. At the end, they're mouthing at 280 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.559 each other. But that just shows you how good that match was. I 281 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:48.599 just skimmed through the whole thing right there. That is what it is. 282 00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.039 Guys. I don't know what I can tell you on that one, but 283 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.079 overall, show good. Liked everything except the end. The guys are working 284 00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.759 with what they got in front of them and went as far as the writing, 285 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.039 you know, it isn't what it is. But we're getting ready for 286 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:08.880 spring drinking and that's coming up in two weeks. So yeah, that's about 287 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.759 all I can say about these guys. Now, we're kind of doing a 288 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:18.759 little abbreviated deal because I'm I'm it's getting ready to be my daughter's eighteenth birthday, 289 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.799 so I am preparing birthday stuff, so we're gonna cut it off a 290 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.559 little quicker this week, but guys, we will see you next week. 291 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:32.880 And thank you very much for listening this week.
